I would like to connect with any member who invests in the Daytona or Columbus area of Ohio.Question: Is there any recommendations on how to find discounted properties in the Ohio market or is a turnkey property the way to go?

Let's connect!

I was hoping to connect will someone with some event venue experience.

If it is a normal occurrence I would be concerned, connect with local boots on the ground before doing anything out of emotion. 

Then connect with some hard money lenders (you can find some here on BP as well as some who are typing this right now) and connect with them to understand their product type, what they like to lend on and requirements.Hard money broker is all numbers game of making relationships and helping those that are looking for financing, it starts out slow but if you get with a few good borrowers and lenders it can be pretty decent money to be made.As an example we paid six figures last year to HM brokers. 

Another note on construction cost, going vertical is very expensive now and would require have a great connect with a developer and a builder in the area.See what rents are in the area and run the numbers to ensure the rents will cover your costs and give you a solid return—using the 1% rule can help.

Wishing you all the best on your journey, and I’m here if you ever want to connect!

Let me know if you need any help, feel free to connect.

@Michael Smythe - Agreed it is all basic stuff to you and I in the field of PM.
